Beautiful Yet Impractical Illustrated Cookbook By Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol’s 1959 cookbook called Wild Raspberries is less of an instructional manual for beginning cooks, and more of an art book. The book showcases fanciful representations of different delicacies, each illustrated in a beautiful yet exaggerated manner. Wild Raspberries is definitely meant as an art book only because instead of precise instructions in making food, the book offers crass directions. An example of this is the book directing its readers to ‘send the Cadillac round to Trader Vic’s tiki bar for a suckling pig of sufficient size for a party of 15.’
